Quickie 1.1 Voltage Issue [solved]

Dave,

You almost certainly have a loose/marginal solder joint.  You should put it up for a few days.  Clear your head and come back refreshed.  Too often we get to a point where we can't see the forest for the trees.

When you come back touch up all the power supply solder joints and try the chop stick test.

Another possibility is a wire that is broken under the insulation, probably when it was stripped. You should be able to pull gently but firmly on each wire but check the solder joints first...John

Hey guys,

Went back to the Quickie today.

I noticed that one of the ground connections solder wasn't a good one.  Resoldered that joint and all the input rca jacks.

Test voltages...ok.

I tried it and I am getting sound.  The right channel comes in and out.  I tried tapping the Selector switch on the button.  This seems to affect it.  Also, when I adjust the volume the right channel goes.  Tapping on the selector button brings back the right channel.

Seems to me I should now look at the solder connections between the selector and the right input on the attenuator....slowly getting there!

Thanks for your suggestions and help!...Dave

Thanks everyone for your help

I was able to getting the quickie working.  The final piece was a blotched solder joint at the selector switch.  Resoldered and I was off to the races.

Thanks again.  I think that is it for my Quickie..next stop upgrading my crack

  Many years ago, i had a trouble ticket for a lawyer. Tkt said No dial tone on any lines, any phones. It was summer, and when I asked the beautiful secretary where the phone system was mounted, 'it's right behind my desk', said she. Then I asked, what happened to the extension cord for this little system. "I used it for my desk fan." Case closed. Pun intended.
